VSED – Hastening Death by Stopping Eating & Drinking

Today, we completed a two-day conference on VSED in Seattle. Compared to aid-in-dying, VSED has been the Cinderella of end-of-life research, largely neglected.

This >200 participant conference is the first anywhere specifically focused on the legal, ethical, medical, religious, and family perspectives on VSED. Look for a volume of papers from the Seattle Journal of Social Justice.
